Ancient General Fishing
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2022
My channel covers various types of fishing from both Kayak and Shorefront. My main focus is on Summer Flounder contained in the beautiful waters surrounding Long Island N.Y. I have caught 1284 Striped Bass in my career (with too many Bluefish to even count) as well as many other species. I am definitely no stranger to targeting various fish other than Summer Flounder but Fluke are my number one true love. Since buying my first Gopro and starting this channel a short time ago very few of my past Striper conquest’s were caught on video. Very importantly, I do not use live or traditional bait. All of my fishing is done with “single” jigheads, fake baits and no fish finder. I truly enjoy making something from nothing. Shorelines, Kayaks, a manual pedal drive, fishing pole, fishing reel, braided line, jigheads and fake bait is what I’m all about. So if you like seeing substantial quantities of Fluke being swung over side of a fishing kayak and into a fish bag this is the channel for you.
IF TODAY WAS YESTERDAY I’d WISH TOMORROW WAS TODAY!!!!
Just a quick follow up to my last video. I went back today hoping to crush the Fluke once again. Unfortunately, this was a bittersweet pipe dream. Five more fish did in fact come over the side of the Yak with one being a thick 21” keeper. With this being said the day wasn’t a total bust with respect to some satisfactory action presenting itself. This was short lived however when the wind turned a flat calm peaceful seascape into an uncomfortable and unmanageable fishing experience. It quickly transcended a crushed pipe dream into a living nightmare. The entire trip lasted about 2 1/2 hours and honestly the last hour of it truly sucked. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I wasn’t worried about my safety in the least bit. It was the tumultuous sweeping wind verses different currents which compromised by jigging motion therefore solidifying my decision to return to port. What a difference a day makes when it comes to fishing. Hopefully my upcoming trips will be more reminiscent of yesterday’s which rivaled Chaka’s epic fruit sized offerings from the original Land of the Lost. Thanks for watching.

SUMMER FLOUNDER LIMIT “PLUS 1” BACK BAY KAYAK FISHING
มุมมอง 14714 วันที่ผ่านมา
It was an incredible day on the water that’s for sure. A brace of 15 Fluke graced the deck of my fishing kayak under a beautiful blue sky. All of the fish were respectable but 4 of them were exceptional. I kept my limit of 3 and released a plus one keeper. If every day on the water was like this one my family would need to put out a missing persons bulletin in order to summon me home. For anyon...

I took a couple of weeks off from the kayak to spend more time with the family. I fished from shore unremarkably hammering fluke with no keepers. At first I reluctantly made the accompanying video which is devoid of any keepers. The only reason why I considered it is due to the fact that a couple were close. I guess fishing isn’t always about keepers. It’s more about consistently producing fish...

Following being less than 100 yards from a Shark that the experts nicknamed Jaws I decided to stick to the shore for a while. 😂 No joke! Not only was I very near the monstosity mentioned in the enclosed link on that fateful day another was spotted in front of my back bay launch site. Both sitings were not only confirmed by NYPD Helicopters but a little birdy on the inside whispered a double ver...
No Ice And Right Back To The Cabana I Went

Just a quickie which literally engrossed 15 minutes of my time on a Saturday afternoon. I had no ice and fileting the fish expeditiously was my only priority. After I was done my lounge chair called out to me. It was time to rest my aching body and arms after reeling in over 100 fluke throughout the course of 8 days.

When one claims to have caught 55 Summer Flounder during the course of a solitary 5 hour trip believe them. I accomplished this today with the trip constituting a personal best day for me with respect to volume. Unfortunately, out of this enormous quarry fifty four of them had to be thrown back. In this short video I featured the largest 3 of the day, two of which were sent back home to see ano...

Just a short video featuring some short fluke caught jigging. The only reason why I put such a video together rather then deleting and starting all over tomorrow was the water. I literally felt like I was fishing in the tropics today. The water had a bluish green hue to it. Why go to the islands when you have Long Island.

I’m finally on vacation and able to fish. Why let a lightening storm get in the way. 😂 Kids don’t try this at home or away from the home. Don’t expect much from this one. Just two even worth showcasing out of a total of (19) for the very short day.
2 KEEPER FLUKE 31 TOTAL FOR THE DAY
มุมมอง 1702 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today was reminiscent of yesterday with respect to the volume of Fluke that I landed. There were twenty two yesterday (no keepers) and thirty one today with two nice keepers. So far my 2024 season tally is 79 Summer Flounder with 8 nice keepers in the mix. Six of the keepers in question were over 20 inches. This has definitely been a nice start to what I hope will be an epic season. Thanks for ...

Upon my awakening this morning I decided that I wanted to stay in bed. This foolhardly idea lasted about 10 minutes or so. The fishing grounds and beautiful blue skies were the ultimate victors over laziness today. At first the sky, water and my soul seemed to be as one until the winds kicked up. Then the hard work, lurking dangers and overall fun began. Despite some trying conditions I was abl...
2024 FLUKE “2 KEEPERS” 10 TOTAL “BACK BAY KAYAK TRIP”

The water was a mere 59 degrees and for all intents and purposes shouldn’t be holding Fluke life in much abundance. Low and behold despite this cursed situation I was able to quarry 2 keepers out of a brace of 10. Nevertheless, please pardon the higher than normal shutter speed combined with me being in a particular situation where I needed to continually check my exact location due to depth an...

This is simply a short preview of what hopefully is to come for season 3 of Ancient General Fishing. Hopefully being the key word since there are no guarantees in life just hard work backed by faith. P.S. The water is still a bit cold in my neck of the woods and the fluke are very few and far between. Please stay tuned because if they arrive as scheduled and with a little luck there will be no ...

very nice catch, i'm hoping to finally land a keeper myself before the season ends.
Is that a different kayak?
@@FiveAcreFarm Same one. Wilderness Recon 120.
Keep thinking positive and go a little lighter and shallower. It’s not a matter of if but when.
you got some really good ones, i've been looking for my first keeper myself.
South shore Nassau county?
❤ glad you are doing well , nice video...
Thank you Chuck. Good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
As someone who sees whites often while surfing in so cal, I have yet to see one somehow get its body out of the water, to the sand, maul an unlucky soul on the sand and somehow get back into the ocean. And don’t forget, the camera man never dies!
I usually fish from the Rockaway side, from the Beach 9th, pier. Great for blackfish9.
Where is this?
Atlantic beach long island looking at Rockaway Beach on the other side. Reynolds channel is the waterway. Cleanest water in the city.
@@marshallholman52 Yeah, I've never seen water that clean here before lol
@@rumdab Atlantic Beach NY.
Looks amazing!
The waters been looking great latley
got mine car topped, she is pretty heavy , on top an old Rav4, yours goes up way easier than mine, Yak Attack does have some nice gear,theres a drop motor mount for the front Im looking at ( through the peddle gear slot)
just got mine, what length oaddle shoukd i get , paddle sorry
The longer the better. A 260 is probably your best bet.
Go Ancient General. Thanks for putting me to 💤 😴 😅😂😃🤣 Great catch.
No problem 👍I’m glad it served some sort of purpose in your life. 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😝
Nice work out there. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work and tight lines
Appreciate it!!
Way to go Mike
About to order one soon i think. Does it paddle pretty well? I plan on getting a cheap bow mount trolling motor
Sorry just got this. Yes for its width it does laddie pretty good.
I just paddle to get out to deeper water to be able to deploy the peddle drive. I’ve paddled it before though and was able to move pretty well. Keep in mind it is a bit heavy but the weight and width is perfect for overall stability. I would get the peddle drive and a trolling motor if you want the extra power. It tracks very well for a big kayak.
What is the center of the scuppers I use the pvc on my cart I just a 120 hd
Sorry just got this. I honestly am not sure.
Nice catches. Too bad they weren't keepers.
Probably get more views with a better title
